Very underrated in terms of his NHL accomplishments.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706096093769051842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31438400.post-58958110472380404502020-03-07T10:58:17.797-05:002020-03-07T10:58:17.797-05:00Great article!

I think Larouche could have been a great two-way player for Montreal but didn't want to work on the defensive side of his game.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00154933988727309870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31438400.post-42074194637538391472015-02-01T13:09:53.151-05:002015-02-01T13:09:53.151-05:00Wow!

I remember the old analog clock what a hoot. I used to sneak into the Royals games during warmup and witnessed Larouche score 8 points one night. Please post youtube footage maybe Cogeco has some.Best Regards,<br />Sarnia OntarioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31438400.post-61984263598417021502011-09-05T04:47:57.244-04:002011-09-05T04:47:57.244-04:00Outstanding.

Doing some recent baseball research in The Sporting News archives, I discovered that he was a diabetic. Not diagnosed until his last year w/ Cornwall or rookie year in the WHA. I read your great post a few mos ago & just dropped in to make sure it was still accessible. Thus, can't recall if you mentioned that Gary's younger bro Cam was a member of Cornwall's '80 cup champs. Or if you mentioned that GM died young, in the mid 90s(?). Aprx 40, if memory serves. More memories from you re: the 73-74 QMJHL would be greatly appreciated. God, how I wish game films of that season could be posted on youtube.<br />Best,<br />Patrick McCabeelvisbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09516275033437042659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31438400.post-66022744463680821332010-10-29T02:45:34.238-04:002010-10-29T02:45:34.238-04:00Any other royals stories Robert, love to share you...Any other royals stories Robert, love to share your passion and stories, my all time favourite royals in no particular order are Dan Geoffrion, John Wensink, Dale Hawerchuk, Paul Ross and Dave Eazard, I remember many bench brawls from the early 70s onward, one in particular Montreal Juniors vs Royals at the forum, 1st palyoff game 1975, 3 bench brawls in one game, what a beauty, have you seen any like that concerning our beloved Royals,Royalsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03192207849157613753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31438400.post-29903715728830281722009-12-24T15:45:17.671-05:002009-12-24T15:45:17.671-05:00great info..much appreciated.

He played one year of minors with Flint and was then out of professional hockey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31438400.post-66240300410583193922008-10-15T08:25:00.000-04:002008-10-15T08:25:00.000-04:00Rumour had it that The Rocket begged Montreal mana...Rumour had it that The Rocket begged Montreal management to draft Mike Bossy. In fairness, Napier was a fabulous junior player. I consider Bossy to be one of the top 25 players of all time. I can only imagine what he would had accomplished if his back hadn't of given out. So it goes.24 Cupshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12281838355386830648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31438400.post-48480911408650697842008-10-14T02:51:00.000-04:002008-10-14T02:51:00.000-04:00Thanks, man.
